Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1232 - 1234: Sowing Discord

"That’s not acceptable. Knowing full well that my nephew’s family wants to buy the mountain, you’re still plundering things from it, that’s too much. Put everything down immediately." Silver’s wife said, stepping forward to snatch the sack of hazelnuts from their hands.

But the other party wouldn’t allow it. Not only did they not let go, but they also said in a sharp tone, "Oh, Aunt Sanzhu, why are you in such a hurry? It’s not like any of us took your family’s money."

"You are messing with the mountain our Yang Family wants to buy, that’s just not right." Silver’s wife continued to grab the sack persistently, trying to stop them.

"Oh, Aunt Sanzhu, listen to yourself. Even if they haven’t bought the mountain yet, and even if they do, what does it have to do with you? You’re talking like the mountain belongs to you. Did your good nephew share any money with you?"

These words left Silver’s wife dumbstruck, and her hands loosened. Seeing her bewildered look, the other sneered, "Haha, see, I was right, wasn’t I? Yang Erzhu’s household is the only one getting rich in your Yang Family, buying mountains and land. This mountain costs a full twelve hundred taels, and they just took it like that, showing they have plenty of money. Did they share any with the rest of the Yang Family?"

The other party kept sowing discord, causing Silver’s wife’s heart to waver. Indeed, their household hadn’t gotten any share of the money.

The other continued, "If you ask me, before the mountain is sold, you and your son should hurry and pick as much as you can. You might even make some money from selling it."

Yang Wei saw that his mother was rendered speechless and was extremely worried she’d be swayed by these people. He quickly interjected, "Our Yang Family’s matters are none of your business. Today, if you touch this mountain, our Yang Family will remember it. You better remember, if there’s any chance to earn money in the future, you won’t be part of it."

After saying this, Yang Wei pulled his mother with him, "Mom, let’s go home, go to Uncle Erzhu’s. Even if they pick it, it doesn’t matter."

Silver’s wife finally snapped back, calling out, "Just wait, this isn’t over!"

The two of them left the mountain angrily in this way.

The hazelnut pickers looked at each other, some a bit fearful.

"What should we do? Won’t there be trouble?"

"Trouble or not, it is what it is, we’ve already picked them."

"Oh, stop scaring yourself. The mountain isn’t sold to them yet, and there’s nothing wrong with us taking some things from it. Even if reported to the Village Chief, it won’t matter."

"Hurry up, maybe soon we won’t be allowed to pick anymore."

"..."

"..."

Yang Wei led his mother down the mountain. On the way, Yang Wei said, "Mom, don’t listen to their provocations."

Silver’s wife indeed was wrestling with her thoughts just now, feeling that Erzhu’s household is now prospering, while the rest of them didn’t get rich at all. Although they paid them for work on the side, it was too little compared to what they earned.

Despite these thoughts, reason eventually triumphed over jealousy. After all, if it weren’t for Erzhu’s household, her son would’ve long been sold, and there was that matter with her mom’s pickled cabbage last time. She couldn’t make a foolish mistake again. If their family worked hard, they wouldn’t have to worry about not making money by following Erzhu’s. She couldn’t sever ties with them, "Don’t worry, Mom knows. Let’s hurry to Uncle Erzhu’s place."
